Shinobi says new ip
Some would think during their E3 conference they would highlight their games not Squre Enix

They don't look to be following that pattern this time. They pretty much admitted that they showed it a bit early IIRC. There's no hope in hell of that game releasing in 2018.
Shu apparently played it almost two years ago. I'd say it's pretty far along.

You know you just jinxed the conference, right? We'll get VR minigames and sales charts now.

Those are not exclusive games, they wouldnt waste a live orchestra thingy for 3rd party games will arrive on other platforms.
Uh, what? So conferences are for exclusives? Those are pretty big titles. KH to many means Playstation and 7R is timed exclusive.

O you were talking about the orchestra my bad
Companies literally can't win. If you don't announce super early, there's rage that you don't have any games, and if you do announce really early, then everyone trashes you for announcing games 2 years+ off.

TLOU had been in development for 2.5 years before gameplay was shown, TLOU2 will only have been development for 1 year at the next E3. I can't see them showing it that early.

They can have a video of devs talking about PS5 and teraflops.
They've been working on it for 4 years! Must be (almost) finished or very far along. But kinda weird they haven't even announced it or even released a trailer/teaser in previous trade shows.

They can give those games release dates that will get delayed.
Where did I say the orchestra had to accompany KH3/FF7R? It could just be a trailer for both.

I never thought they would get close to 2015 yet 2016's was awesome. All they need is to show gameplay of announced titles plus some new ones and I would be happy, something like Sucker Punch new IP, gameplay of Spider-Man and TLOU2 etc.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!

2016 conference was better than 2015 conference. PSX16 was also the best one.

For comparisons sake GG were on horizon for 5 years as well. I think it'll be announced this year released in the next

There's an outside chance that they could announce it at E3 and release it later this year. It's unlikely but not outside the realms of possibility.

They need to have the same kind of conference as 2016, with as little talk as possible, and start with a bang. It will be difficult to be as original as the symphonic opening for the new GOW.
They need to focus on games, and show a good second half of 2017 lineup, as Microsoft will probably need to devote a good part of their conference on hardware and 2018 games.
I would like something like that, in this order
- Trailer for the Uncharted DLC, avail summer 2017
- First showing of the Spiderman game, avail early 2018 *** BANG
- New game from From Software, avail holiday 2017 *** BANG
- 3 minutes talk about PS4, PSVR
- 1 or 2 important VR titles (Ace Combat)
- Gran Turismo
- New trailer for GOW, 2018 *** BANG
- Indies moment
- Third-party japanese games segment, with a trailer for FF XII, DQ 11 *** BANG
- Dreams from MM, avail holiday 2017
- Destiny 2 trailer, beta TODAY *** BANG
- First showing of the next game from Sucker Punch Productions *** BANG
- Early gameplay for The Last of Us 2 *** BANG
No mention of Vita.

Yep I guessing we see the first full gameplay at E3.
Surely Horizon wasn't announced 5 years into development? I think Sucker Punch game is unprecedented for Sony.

When planning for stuff like E3 and PSX, you are also planning for the following year's event. You have to think about what you don't need to show, so that it can be shown in the other events and not have too little "ammo" for your marketing.
I mean, according to rumours, there was a Horizon concept/CGi trailer that could had been shown at E3 2014 if Sony really wanted to announce that game early. But it didn't.

It was announced at E3 2015, so 3 years or so into development.

They could show us nothing but trailers and gameplay demos of games we already know about and it'd still be a great show. Those motherfuckers have some goddamn games in the pipe.

ND only started TLOU2 after UC4 released, they flat out stated that they didn't have a good idea for it until recently.
2-3 new titles and gameplay of stuff that's already been announced
Sony's new big JRPG IP to rival Final Fantasy (switch with Marvel Musou if too unrealistic)
Monster Hunter: Western Appeal
Devil May Cry 5
gameplay of FF VIIr
gameplay of Shenmue 3
gameplay of God of War
gameplay of Detroit
gameplay of Spider-Man
one more thing: Knack 2 gameplay trailer that rivals Uncharted 2's helicopter chase/building collapse

It's a new IP and almost assuredly a AAA game, so it's extremely unlikely and imo, would be a mistake.
New IPs need more marketing time than 4-5 months to seed people into the idea and concept, so that there can be attention, speculation and awareness building into a new product that no one is sure about.
Also releasing a new open-world IP in the same time frame as :
- Destiny 2
- RDR2
- SW Battlefront 2
- AssCreed Egypt
- etc
Is suicidal.
